Liverpool FC Team Talk, Gossip, Rumours 2024/25

⬆️⬆️This!
Obviously the club want to keep Salah, and him and his agent will make noise to force the clubs hand and create fan pressure on them.
I think it’ll be done, Virg also before Christmas. Trent will be making a Couhtino size mistake if he leaves for Madrid, but I think he’ll go.
Salah is coming close to being my all time favourite Liverpool player, but has a bit more to do yet before he overtakes King Kenny!

40 million odd Salah earns (sterling).

Does it make sense to let him go (he's proven) and spend what you'd pay him over the next 3 years on a gamble of a replacemwnr, that's the question for the money men.

I suspect it'll get done, don't like seeing it being negotiated in public though.

The match officials announced for Sunday. Let's hope Salah is on fire and we can get this contract sorted in due course 😄

none I’d say ,i genuinely think Liverpool fans are the worst for giving out about officials

Problem is they answer to no one. That needs sorting, and they all clearly need to be drug tested. They are the kings of silence, praying for a new news story to come out about something else, to take spotlight off of them.

Hard to really criticize the club on the contracts for Salah and VVD, we have absolutely no idea what the players are looking for, given their ages the club is right to be cautious and get the best deal. Reality is though they will cost alot more to replace atleast in the short term. The important thing to remember with these contracts is it isn't reward for what they have done, its how the club values them as the players they will be next season and beyond. You can't be sentimental in these decisions.

I will absolutely criticize the club for letting Trent run his down though and I'm absolutely convinced hes going.

Arne showing some humour at the press conference today when asked about Salah’s contract and his comments after the Soton game:

The only thing I can say is, if I look at my line-ups, Mo is more in than out

😁

Bit of the club give the three of them what they want then we'll 100% breach the squad cost rules next season. What do we do then?

The problem is that on Jan 1st they can sign a pre contract with any non Premier league club; so say TAA signs with Real on Jan 1st & both VVD & Salah sign with other clubs….what does Slot do with those 3 players then, there is no way they are going to be 100% given there is likely to be conditions on them being fit re payments with the new club(s).

The club has handled this so poorly; if they are not signing or there is serious doubt this late, then TAA should have been sold in the summer for 50m+ as if any sign a new deal, it will include a hefty signing on fee also.

We are in a completely unexpected position and I just hope that it is not wrecked in January if one or more sign for a different club; e.g. as per above TAA signs for Real and we get drawn with them in the CL, no way you can play him.

Never hear of it happening nowadays, no doubt there are gentlemen agreements in place but i don't remember the last time a high profile player announced what club he would be joining.

Besides VVD and Salah are model professionals, even if they were to announce they will sign with a new club i've no doubt they would give 100% until their contract runs out.

The club will know by now how likely it is that the 3 sign on or not, it's vital we do some business in January, even without mentioning the three out of contract we need a LB(sorry Robbo), No.6 and IMO a No.9. (maybe Slot tries Diaz here long term?)

I would'nt be comfortable with potentially having to bring in 6 first teamers in the one window, even if we could afford to do so, which we cannot.

I hope you are right; knowing that you will be moving on June 1st and not signing a pre contract seems bananas to me, what if VVD did his acl, it would probably cost his 50m-75m as all 3 will get a huge signing on fee wherever they move to [fingers crossed none move].

City collapse again

oh..i turned off at 2-0!!
